St JKohns River Blues Festival

The third annual ST. JOHNS RIVER BLUES FESTIVAL to be held November 17-18, 2012 in Palatka will certainly follow the success of our first two years and more. Our strong core group of volunteers, including business and government leaders as well as successful festival planners with valuable experience, planned and operated the event without any admission fees to the general public, with all bills paid, start-up money in the bank AND presented St Johns River State College with one thousand dollar for scholarship to aspiring Putnam County fine and performing arts students each year. This year-s festival will again feature area blues bands in a competition format vying for fame and prizes insuring local interest! Matty Guitar Murphy and the Pit Bull Blues Band play Saturday night and Willie Green close the weekend on Sunday night. St Johns Ave will be full of vendors from 3rd Street to 8th Street with two main stages, one at the Court House and another in the Prosperity Bank parking lot. St. Johns River Blues Festival, Inc. is a Florida Not For Profit Corporation which again will meet the goal of providing scholarship funding to Putnam County Fine and Performing Arts Students, particularly those attending Florida School of the Arts here in Palatka. See you at the festival!
